  o Garments that have been stained with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, paraffin, stain removers, turpentine, waxes or wax removers should be washed with hot water and an extra amount of detergent before tumble drying.
• Cleaning cloths and mats containing residues of flammable cleaning agents, acetone, gases, petrol, gasoline, stain removers, turpentine, waxes, wax removers, dry cleaning solvents or chemicals.
  o Garments with traces of hairspray, nail polish remover and similar substances.
  o Garments that have been used for cleaning with industrial chemicals (as in chemical cleaning).
  o Garments containing parts or accessories with any type

of foam, sponge, rubber or rubber-like material, such as latex foam sponges, shower caps, waterproof fabrics, custom-made clothing and foam pillows.

o Garments with padding or damaged parts (pillows or jackets). Foam released from these garments could cause a fire during the drying process.

- Using the dryer in environments containing flour or coal dust may cause an explosion.

- Wet clothes can only be dried in the tumble dryer after being spin-dried, i.e., they must not be dripping water that could drip onto electrical components and damage the tumble dryer, causing a potential hazard.

- It is not advisable to introduce wool fabrics or garments or leather materials. Plush and leather can be damaged, and wool can shrink and deform.

- Do not dry garments labelled: do not tumble dry, hang to dry, wring out, dry at room temperature.

- Try to distribute the clothes evenly inside the drum to facilitate drying and avoid noises.

- It is advisable to use similar fabrics in each drying cycle.

- Do not store cigarettes, lighters, dry ice or other flammable and/or explosive materials inside the tumble dryer.

- ATTENTION: Underwear with metal reinforcements should not be put in the dryer. Damage to the dryer may occur if the metal reinforcements become detached or lost during drying.

Correct use

• ATTENTION: Make sure that no animals enter the dryer. Check the interior of the dryer before use.
• ATTENTION: Never stop the dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out to dissipate the heat.
• ATTENTION: Overheating of the laundry inside the dryer may occur if you cancel the programme or in case of an electrical failure during the operation of the dryer. This heat concentration may cause combustion, so ensure laundry is promptly removed from the dryer to spread out and dissipate heat.
• Operate the appliance only for domestic use and for drying fabrics labelled as suitable for tumble drying. Any use other than that for which it is intended is prohibited.
• In case of commercial use, the warranty will be void.
